What are the REAL problems with the BYD Leopard 5 (PHEV)?

Now this is the new BEAST ! That I really hope it’s up to the game of competition! I tried it last week in AlAwir and really liked it so much ! But the price isn’t entering my brain ! 179k aed with warranty ! 😤😢 I would pay it if we had excellent long term feedback on the car !

Today I want real-world feedback from Leopard 5 owners in the UAE

Please focus on the negatives and issues you faced after ownership, not just general impressions.

Main problems & reliability

Any breakdowns, warning lights, or recurring issues?

Anything that made you visit the garage more than expected?

Battery & PHEV downsides

Which version do you have? (small ~32 kWh or big ~48 kWh)

Real electric range vs advertised

What happens when battery is low? (performance drop / fuel consumption)

Any long-term battery concerns?

Fuel & daily driving

Fuel consumption once battery is empty

Does the car feel too heavy in real use?

Warranty & service

Which warranty provider are you using?

Any issues with claims or delays?

Do you trust it long term?

Did you face any problem for service or warranty

How much you paid for warranty ?

Spare parts & repairs

Parts availability in UAE vs ordering from China

Waiting time for parts

Any expensive repairs so far?

How much is consumables like break pads , air filters oil filters etc.

Price & market

How much did you buy it for? (to track price changes in current timing as prices increased once I checked it twice!)

Is resale difficult? How about resale value ?

Tech & system issues

Infotainment bugs, lag, crashes?

Language / region lock issues?

Connectivity or update problems?

Off-road performance issues

Any problems in sand driving ?

Overheating or system limitations?

How reliable is it in tough conditions?

Biggest regrets

What disappointed you the most?

What would you warn new buyers about?

Would you buy it again?

Appreciate honest feedback — trying to understand the real ownership experience.

Most importantly don’t believe the manufacturer about the range I saw two content creators did full review on range ! Non reached above 700 km so basically what ever Chinese saying about range , divide it by 2 😓

What are the real-world problems with the Jetour T2 2025? (Owners please share)

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to make a series of posts about Chinese cars where actual owners share honest feedback — especially the negatives that don’t show up in reviews.

If you own a Jetour T2 2025, I’d really appreciate your input on the following:

Reliability so far (any breakdowns, warning lights, recurring issues?)

Engine & gearbox performance (smoothness, lag, overheating, etc.)

Fuel consumption in real daily use

Spare parts availability (easy or hard to find? waiting times?)

Service costs (dealer vs outside garages)

Agency/service center experience

Build quality (interior wear, rattles, paint quality)

Electronics & infotainment (bugs, screen lag, sensor issues)

AC performance (important for GCC weather)

Suspension & comfort (city + highway + off-road)

Resale value and market demand

Insurance costs and any issues with claims

Accessories availability (aftermarket parts, mods, off-road gear)

Off-road capability (real experience, not specs)

Any regrets after buying the car?

Did you buy it out of agency or within ?

If you bought it out of agency what’s the best warranty service you got and you feel it worth the money ?

Feel free to share both positives and negatives — the goal is to help others make informed decisions.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I want it to be real guide for users and future prospective users who plan to buy it
